Amber Heard: Beautiful People 2011
By HOBEY ECHLIN
Being a hot blonde is not always easy, according to actress Amber Heard. "I fit a certain build and character that has very limited options in this industry." After coming of age as hot blondes in Hidden Palms, Pineapple Express and Zombieland (where she succeeded in being both hot and a zombie, much to Jesse Eisenberg's character's confusion), the 24-year-old has matured, along with her craft, playing more developed parts like Nic Cage's attitude-and-estrogen-not-
necessarily-in-that-order counterpart in Drive Angry. "I enjoy the ridiculousness of being able to talk about how much I love guns and cars." But on a serious note, she adds, "Usually, women like that are written to be either sexy and insensitive or sensitive and weak -- I love that I was able to make a strong character real."
Things got really real (and sent the Internet into a tizzy) when she attended GLAAD's 25th Anniversary party last December. Now, she does not refute her bi-sexuality but instead just chooses not to discuss it. "I don't label myself one way or another," she says. What that means privately is none of our business, but professionally, her layered, accomplished performance as Johnny Depp's love interest in the upcoming adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's The Rum Diary shows Heard transitioning from nuanced ingénue to an artist in her own right. "I've made it a struggle and cut out a battle for myself to find roles I can do a little more with."

Bi-sexuality? She came out as a LESBIAN. And labeled herself as one when she did come out.

terr,
amber never came out as 'lesbian', nor did she ever 'label' herself; she simply acknowledged her current relationship with photographer tasya van ree. amber has said in many articles/interviews that she has dated men, insinuating that she is in fact, bisexual. however, neither matters, and we shouldn't label her either way. we should focus more on what matters - her acting.
